There are no narcotic analgesics, overdose

Scientists have recently invented a morphine-like analgesic, but reduce harmful side effects such as addiction or overdose.

New painkillers are an important step to finding the perfect product, which helps reduce pain but is not addictive or overdose.

The most important property in PZM21 is that it is not as addictive as painkillers.

The team consists of members of Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco, who introduced a compound called PZM21 . This compound has a very good analgesic effect, when tested in white mice, the effective duration can be up to 3 hours, much longer than morphine or other painkillers.

However, the most important property in PZM21 is that it is not as addictive as painkillers. In the trial, the probability of mice receiving PZM21 returning to the site of the drug was not high, indicating that they were not too dependent on the drug. One of the signs of addiction is that the mouse becomes hyperactive after taking drugs like morphine, but with the new drug, the mice are still functioning normally.

A side effect of painkillers is that it causes breathing slower than usual , and over time when subjects who use greasy medication, taking higher doses, can lead to overdose, life-threatening. . Tests showed that PZM21 did not completely eliminate this phenomenon, mice after taking the drug still breathing slowly to dangerous levels. However, after the drug was exhausted, the rat's breathing returned to normal, and for morphine this effect remained even after the analgesic effect was exhausted.

Although it is not possible to find a pain reliever that completely eliminates side effects, the PZM21 is a very important step to achieving the perfect product. According to LA Times, sales of painkillers have increased fourfold since 1999, and the number of deaths due to overdose also increased at the same rate. Every day, about 1000 patients have to be emergency because of overdose of pain medicine.
